Wheels30_ab Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 So I was out caching today and my find, which wasn't the cache was a very strange thing to find in the bushes in a rural area. I say through the bushes what i thought may have been the cache, so I wandered through to it, lifted the cloth over it and guess what it was? I found a Cash Machine (not Cache Machine), Bank Machine, yes an Automated Teller Machine, yes an ATM!! Needless to say I high tailed it outta their, not wanting who ever dropped it their to return with me there, and called the local authorities when I got home. Whats your strangest non-cache related find Quote Link to comment

Whats your strangest non-cache related find I know of a cache that is within 20 feet of an ATM. Actually more like within 0 feet. Quote Link to comment

+Alkhalikoi Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Most I can offer is an encounter with a cow in about the stinkiest level of decomposition. Ugh. It was 50 degrees out and it still was the worst thing I ever smelled. Quote Link to comment
+Snoogans Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Whats your strangest non-cache related find Near GQ's Headcase (Archived) there was a turtle graveyard. Like more than a dozen empty turtle shells and some were quite large. It reminded me of the old B&W Tarzan movie about the elephant graveyard. Quote Link to comment

+narcissa Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I think Juicepig found a body near a cache. I found a rusty old license plate from 1931. Taoiseach loves old license plates, so I gave it to him and he immediately declared that it was his favourite. This was in the period before we were "together" when all our geocaching friends knew what we had yet to realize. Quote Link to comment

I was caching and didn't realize I was straddling the decaying animal corpse. I think it was a possum or a cat. I'm not sure. It was quite rotten but since it was cold, no aroma.

+EscapeFromFlatland Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Found a chemical weapons medical kit near a cache. I actually picked it up and messed around with it for awhile, trying to translate the arabic. Both the atropine and the 2-PAM chloride were expired, but I was only taking it for a souvenir anyway.

If I CITO something interesting and not just garbage, add a TB and release. Reminds me of the found art projects: collages made of things found on the street including letters and photographs. My goal this summer is to use camera and GPS to photograph and log coordinates of plastic bags that I CITO. Quote Link to comment
+legolaws Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Next to one of my caches (GC1N9Y9) someone set up two 18 gallon totes and started growing Pot plants. You can read the logs to find out how I realized this. Quote Link to comment

+Jeepster++ Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Searching for the final part of a multi, I looked under a pile of branches and found a dead raccoon. I moved on to another pile of branches and found two more dead raccoons. I thought I had found some sort of raccoon burial grounds. Quote Link to comment

We've crossed paths with lots of critters while caching,, lots of snakes, alligators, a bobcat, wild hogs, and an owl in a hollow tree. Thankfully, none of the dead carcusses we encountered were of the human type! Quote Link to comment

I found the pile first but lots of others got to enjoy the smells while the pile decomposed: GC1CGJ8 The cache was renamed in honor of the sacrifice (and in honor of a cacher named We5Fish, FTF on the cache before the dumping) and is now called "WeSmellFish" Quote Link to comment
+NYPaddleCacher Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Found a whole truckload of fish dumped right by the cache site. I found the pile first but lots of others got to enjoy the smells while the pile decomposed: About this time last year I found a cache, then as I was walking back to my car saw a pile of about 10 dead canadian geese. Last Friday, while searching for a cache I saw lots of these. Some of them were 9-10" long. Quote Link to comment

+bittsen Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I don't know if this would be called "interesting" unless you look into the psychology of it but last night, within 20 feet of the cache I found no less than a half dozen condom wrappers and a fair percentage of the used condoms. It was almost like a cacher was using that spot as a hookup place. The odd thing is the wrappers were different brands so it HAS to have been from different people. Although disgusting, from a psychological viewpoint it's interesting. I can see stumbling onto a quiet secluded spot with a partner and getting, um, inspired by the location and the mood and all but this place lost its "inspiration" with the first discarded protective device and subsequent wrapper. At that point it became little more than an outdoor toilet. Adding that there were a few trails in the area I found it interesting that people seemed to be enjoying themselves at the place where the DNA stockpile was accumulating rather than picking an area further away with less discarded latex and plastic. It was almost like these people were drawn and, um, inspired by the conditions of the site. It didn't help that I was finding this cache at night but for some reason I really kept looking over my shoulder while signing the logsheet. I should add that, other than the obvious "litter" the cache site is awesome. It has a lot of character and history. Quote Link to comment
+Snoogans Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I titled this picture "Off like a prom dress." It mayyy have been evidence though. The cache was in a secluded and kind of spooky area. Quote Link to comment

+Pasha88 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 1. A pile of dead/decaying animals (most likely squirrels/coons) - at least 10 bodies 2. An LCBO bag with a FULL bottle of Rum - it was sealed (no, I didn't take it) 3. While night caching, we came across 4 live deer within 10m of where we were standing. They stopped and stared at us, so we did the same. Best part of it - we were in a small park and they were standing right on someone's front lawn. We stood watching each other for at least 10 minutes. Quote Link to comment
Andronicus Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I had a couple of deer sneek up on me while signing the log book. They had been 40is metres away when I opened the cache up, but when I looked up from signing the log, they were about 10m. Kind of creeped me out. Were these some killer deer or something? I don't know if this would be called "interesting" unless you look into the psychology of it but last night, within 20 feet of the cache I found no less than a half dozen condom wrappers and a fair percentage of the used condoms.

Mr.Yuck Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Actually, on Good Friday (and after this thread was started), I found a porno DVD case within 20 feet of a cache. I assume it was empty, I wasn't touching it. It had a slighty weathered, but explicit cover photo. I do remember the name of it, but I shan't be posting it here. Quote Link to comment
